No one was injured in the 2-11 alarm fire in the two-story brick building at 7130 S. South Chicago Ave., which started a little before 9 p.m., according to the Chicago Fire Department's media office. The House of Israel Temple of Faith, a Black Hebrew temple, is listed at the address.

A person with a disability was rescued from the second floor of the building, according to the Fire Department.

A girl with a disability was rescued from the top of the stairs inside the building, according to authorities at the scene. She, like the other two people inside, weren't harmed.

Firefighters were pouring water on the two-story brick building from at least four hose lines.
